A Clear Message

July 5, 2013

The law of the Lord is perfect . . .
–Psalm 19:7

The Bible is the constitution of Christianity. Just as the United States Constitution is not of any private interpretation, neither is the Bible of any private interpretation. Just as the Constitution includes all who live under its stated domain, without exception, so the Bible includes all who live under its stated domain, without exception. God’s laws for the spiritual world are found in the Bible. Whatever else there may be that tells us of God, it is more clearly told in the Bible. Nature in her laws tells us of God, but the message is not too clear. It tells us nothing of the love and grace of God. Conscience, in our inmost being, does tell us of God, but the message is fragmentary. The only place we can find a clear, unmistakable message is in the Word of God, which we call the Bible.

Prayer for the day

How I pray that the world would live by Your
law—which bears no discrimination but is perfect. Teach me as I read the Bible to follow Your commandments which are not impossible to obey because of Jesus Christ’s love.

God's Holy Word was inspired and written by people handpicked by God. Portions of their lives were documented for our benefit. We learn and grow as we read these amazing truths. Pray earnestly for the Holy Spirit to illuminate your heart and mind.

GOD, PLEASE ANSWER THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO WANT TO BE CLOSER TO YOU. WHO WANT TO REVEAL YOU TO OTHERS. PLEASE SHOW THEM THE WAY, YOUR WAY. I PRAY THAT EVERY PERSON SEEKING YOU, FIND YOU AND THAT THEIR BROKENNESS WILL BE HEALED.

When the word of God is presented the way it is found in the Bible, I have witnessed the way it transformed the illiterates in India. The word of God is a piercing sword which split the darkened mind in to eternal Christ light.

The Bible is God's love letter to us. More people than we know have died for the sake of the Bible being in existence. God's Holy Word of the Bible is the most important Book on this planet! Bless You God for Your Holy Word...

God's Laws are there for all who care to read them. A person should take a moment prior to reading the Bible daily to pray and ask the Holy Spirit of God to illuminate the words and better understand the message.This will also enable you to know how to apply the great lessons written, to your life.
